2942. I Am Going to Try to Post Again!



Oooops! I’m gonna try to post often. It’s not simple to do it, but I’ll try punctually. Every day.
The point is that I’ve been compiling lots of notes in my diary, and now I would like to post them, for they could help some of you readers.
I’ve been assisting at a summer camp with English classes, and the teens gave me a lot of inspiration to write about their so interesting way of being and conducting.
Just I tell you now that the course was awesome! I can also say I’ve learned a lot from them and from my colleagues. See you soon! The picture above shows a French village, and I liked to post it here.

1217. The teacher must be ready for any possible problem

Image
Teacher A said to teacher B, “A teacher must be ready in his classes to rise to solve any possible problem.  I remember now about a teacher who had to act fast: a student of 13 or 14 swallowed the cap of a pen. So this teacher had to press the student’s abdomen very quickly for his student to put out that object off him.  The teacher achieved it by hugging his student from behind, quickly and with strength. / Photo from: jpg  wolveninesspeedteam com. picture by  Theressa Cliff

792. English as a bridge of communication

Image
One day teacher of English B said to teacher of English A, “In my opinion, definitely it’s a great and essential idea today here in Spain and in other countries (I guess), more and more, subjects different from English should be taught and learned in English. For example it’s becoming more and more frequent today that in Spain students attend classes of History, and Science, with textbooks in English, or by means of portfolios or dossiers made from here and there – complementary topics to one another. This may mean like a change of mind: English is not only a practical subject to actually learn English, but a vehicular language for other subjects. I’ve met teachers of secondary education in Spain that were studying the level of C- 2 in order to facilitate themselves with the instrument, the terms and grammar to teach those subjects. C-2 level? It is the highest level of English within the Common European Framework. Believe me, it’s worth to invest the effort, both by us teachers and b...

1189. A sere education is necessary

Image
According again to Alejandro Llano all this education passes through deep tutoring sessions, going to specific details and actions.  And of course the first role of education is in their parents’ hands. Parents are the main educators of their children, and they turn to schools because they don’t know physics, Latin, etc.  Thus, the school’s labor is subsidiary.  Parents should talk with their children in an easy way, also they should transmit values, both by means of setting an example and by talking. Parents should try to be better persons, and so their children will also better. / Photo from: pressboxperspectives wordpress com. manning brothers

3706. Bettering as a Teacher Myself You Mean? How Can I Do It?

  Just to halt at times. And have a quick mental look or perspective to your teaching. That is something I sometimes do.  For example I did something of this at Christmas break. We had stopped our English classes for a while. And at home I had a mental peek at how my students were doing, and how I was doing as a teacher myself. Just to detect failures in me and in them. Also to find out what was turning out fine.  And all that is just something simple, even intuitive. It’s like keeping track of how things are going. And all that does not necessarily mean you as a teacher must do something else, apart all your workload, which may be almost huge.  If you stop to think of it, it may be something we teachers may inadvertently do when lesson-planning – even more, it is something we actually do when lesson-planning!  But I mean here to carry it out in a bit more aware way, and like something special at some breaks – Christmas, the Holy Week at southern Spain, and fina...

1972. Look in their eyes

Image
Take into account what typed on the previous post if you like. I'd also tell you to look in your audience faces and eyes. As well when addressing your students in class, eye-contact is good for their self-esteem and for a good management of the class.
